< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
Ya mere, Daraiọs nyere iwu ka a chọpụta nʼụlọ a na-echebe akwụkwọ ochie nke ndị Babilọn ma ọ dị akwụkwọ ọbụla dị otu ahụ.
2 and there hath been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a roll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
Emesịa, a chọpụtara otu akwụkwọ nʼụlọeze dị na Ekbatana nʼala Midia. Nke a bụ ihe e dere nʼime akwụkwọ ahụ: Akwụkwọ ozi eze;
3 'In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king hath made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: the house let be builded in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
Nʼafọ mbụ nke Sairọs bụ eze, o nyere iwu banyere ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke dị na Jerusalem ebe ndị Juu na-efe Chineke. A ga-ewughachi ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ebe ịchụ aja, ka a tọsiekwa ntọala ya ike. Ịdị elu ya ga-adị iri mita atọ, obosara ya ga-abụkwa otu ihe ahụ.
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and the outlay let be given out of the king's house.
Ahịrị atọ nke oke nkume ka a ga-eji tọọ ntọala ya, tinyere otu ahịrị osisi. A ga-esi nʼụlọakụ eze Sairọs kwụọ ụgwọ ihe ndị a niile.
5 'And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
Ọzọkwa, a ga-ebughachikwa ngwongwo ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile nke ụlọ Chineke, ndị Nebukadneza sitere nʼụlọnsọ ahụ dị nʼJerusalem buru gaa Babilọn, doghachikwa ha nʼụlọ Chineke.
6 'Now, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from hence;
Mgbe a gụsịrị ya, Daraiọs zighachiri Tatenai onye na-achị Yufretis, na Sheta Bozenai, na ndịisi ọzọ nọ nʼọdịda anyanwụ Yufretis ozi sị ha, Unu hapụ ha ka ha rụọ ọrụ ha.
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
Unu egbochila owuwu ụlọ Chineke ahụ. Kwerenụ ka onyeisi ndị Juu na ndị okenye Juu wughachi ụlọ Chineke a nʼebe e wuru ya na mbụ.
8 'And by me is made a decree concerning that which ye do with the elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of the riches of the king, that [are] of the tribute beyond the river, speedily let the outlay be given to these men, that they cease not;
Ọzọ, ana m enye iwu na nke a bụ ihe unu na-aghaghị imere ndị okenye, na ndị Juu niile na-ewugharị ụlọnsọ Chineke ahụ. Ka unu site nʼụtụ isi a na-atụrụ m kwụọ ụgwọ e ji ewu ụlọ ahụ na-atụfughị oge ọbụla.
9 and what they are needing — both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem — let be given to them day by day without fail,
Unu nye ha ihe ọbụla dịkwa ha mkpa, ụmụ oke ehi na ebule, ụmụ atụrụ, ha ga-eji chụọrọ Chineke nke eluigwe aja. Nyekwanụ ha ọka wiiti, na mmanya, na nnu, na mmanụ oliv, dịka ndị nchụaja rịọrọ, bụ ndị nọ na Jerusalem, aghaghị inye ha ihe ndị a kwa ụbọchị niile na-esepụghị aka.
10 that they be bringing near sweet savours to the God of heaven, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Ka ha nwee ike ịchụ ezi aja nye Chineke nke eluigwe, kpeekwaara mụ na ụmụ m ekpere.
11 'And by me is made a decree, that any one who changeth this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be smitten on it, and his house let be made a dunghill for this.
Ana m enye iwu na onye ọbụla ga-agbanwe okwu a, ka ehopụta osisi nʼụlọ ya jiri kwụgbuo ya. A ga-emekwa ụlọ ya ka ọ bụrụ ebe ikpofu ahịhịa.
12 And God, who caused His name to dwell there, doth cast down any king and people that putteth forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; speedily let it be done.'
Chineke ahụ, onye mere Jerusalem ebe obibi ya, ga-ebibi eze ọbụla maọbụ mba ọbụla gbanwere iwu a, maọbụ bibie ụlọnsọ ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụ Daraiọs na-enye iwu a. Ka onye ọbụla were ike ya niile debe ya.
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king hath sent, so they have done speedily;
Ya mere, nʼihi iwu ahụ eze Daraiọs zitere, Tatenai, onyeisi ọchịchị nʼala ofe mmiri, na Sheta Bozenai, na ndị otu ha, mere ihe niile dịka ozi ahụ si dị na-atụfughị oge ọbụla.
14 and the elders of the Jews are building and prospering through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Nʼihi ya, ndịisi Juu gara nʼihu nʼọrụ, ihe na-agakwara ha nke ọma site na nkwusa onye amụma, bụ Hegai, na Zekaraya, nwa Ido. Ha wuchara ụlọnsọ ahụ dịka iwu Chineke Izrel nyere si dị, nakwa dịka Sairọs, na Daraiọs, na Ataksekses, ndị eze Peshịa, nyekwara nʼiwu.
15 And this house hath gone out till the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ha wusiri ya nʼabalị nke atọ nʼọnwa isii (dị ka ọgụgụ afọ ndị Juu si dị) nʼafọ nke isii nke ọchịchị Daraiọs.
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
Ụmụ Izrel, bụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na ndị fọdụrụ nʼime ndị e mere ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ, ji ọṅụ mee mmemme nke ido ụlọ nke Chineke ahụ nsọ na gbaghee ya.
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks a hundred, rams two hundred, lambs four hundred; and young he-goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
Nʼihi ido ụlọ ahụ nsọ, ha ji oke ehi dị otu narị nʼọnụọgụgụ, na narị ebule abụọ, na narị atụrụ anọ chụọ aja, werekwa mkpi iri na abụọ chụọ aja mmehie nʼihi ndị Izrel niile, dịka ebo niile nke Izrel si dị.
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ha guzobere ndị nchụaja na nkewa ha, ndị Livayị nʼotu ha maka ije ozi nke Chineke na Jerusalem, dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Ndị ahụ emere ka ha gaa biri nʼala ọzọ, mere Mmemme Ngabiga nʼabalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ.
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together — all of them [are] pure — and they slaughter the passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị edoola onwe ha ọcha, ha niile dịkwa ọcha. Ndị Livayị nʼonwe ha gburu ọtụtụ atụrụ Mmemme Ngabiga maka ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị ndị ọzọ, na ndị ahụ niile lọtara alọta site na mba ọzọ.
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and every one who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land unto them, to seek to Jehovah, God of Israel, do eat,
Ya mere, ndị Izrel niile bụ ndị ahụ lọtara site nʼebe e mere ka ha gaa biri riri ihe ahụ, ha na ndị ahụ niile kewapụrụ onwe ha juu ibi ajọọ ndụ nke ndị mba ọzọ bi nʼala ahụ na-ebi, nʼihi ịchọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel.
22 and they make the feast of unleavened things seven days with joy, for Jehovah made them to rejoice, and turned round the heart of the king of Asshur unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Ha sokwa mee mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nke ha mere ụbọchị asaa. Oke ọṅụ jupụtara nʼala Izrel niile nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mere ka eze Asịrịa nwee obiọma nʼebe Izrel nọ, nyere ha aka iwugharị ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, onye bụ Chineke Izrel.
